Three decades of civil war has devastated Afghanistan's education system and institutions. For the past 13 years, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) in cooperation with the Afghan government has been working closely to restore and strengthen the national education system to sustain itself. "USAID through its University Support and Workforce Development Program (USWDP) supported the establishment of the Master of Educational Leadership and Management at the Shaheed Professor Rabbani Education University. USWDP along with its technical partner, University of Massachusetts at Amherst, developed the degree to meet international standards." This program is for the duration of two years and currently 24 students are enrolled, 12 of which are female. Dr. James Emmanuel said: "If you educate a man you educate an individual, but if you educate a woman you educate a family (nation)."
It is worth mentioning that the U.S. government also sponsor's the Fulbright program through the U.S. embassy in Kabul. The Fulbright program is designed to increase mutual understanding between the United States and the people of Afghanistan, and, currently this program offers masters and doctoral programs.
How do you evaluate the progress made in the education sector of Afghanistan with these programs?
